Course notes will be provided to you electronically prior to the class starting. If you wanted a printed copy, please print out a copy and bring it with you to class.
Internet connectivity is never 100% under all circumstances. Sometimes "stuff" happens. We have created a USB memory stick that can run a copy of Wordpress on your computer, requiring no connectivity to the Internet. This option has only been tested for the Windows operating system. If the Internet connection is not available, we will use the USB memory stick implementation. A memory stick implementation of Wordpress can be purchased separately.
